Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles

UK Head Office Current Opportunities

One in every nine vans sold in the UK is a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle. Operating out of Milton Keynes, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has a market share of almost 11%. We’re wholly owned by the Volkswagen AG: one of the most successful automotive manufacturers in the world – a truly global brand with the history, presence and power to maintain high performance everywhere we go.

Van Centre Network Current Opportunities

One of the key strengths for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is its dedicated Van Centre network of 72 sales and service outlets, backed up by a further 24 authorised repairers. One of the secrets of its success is the dedicated expert sales and service staff who understand and love the vehicle range.

Ready to take the lead? It takes courage to challenge the ordinary. We’re looking for a group of exceptional Graduates who’ve got the confidence, ambition and ability to become future leaders of the Volkswagen Group UK. This structured two-year programme will give you the experience, training and knowledge you need to begin that journey. In doing so, you’ll be following in the footsteps of some of our current business leaders. If you’re driven, we can show you how to take your ideas and turn them into action.

What’s on offer? From digital marketing to planning and analysis, the placements you’ll work on are as rigorous as they are varied. You’ll be given projects with business-critical impact from the outset, and we’ll encourage you to suggest your own initiatives – like some on out programmes you might even find yourself presenting them to our board of directors. You’ll also have the chance to shadow colleagues in other business areas and compete for one of our twelve-month international placements.

What's in it for you? You’ll start on a £30,000 salary and get a new car worth approximately £25,000 every six months so you could be driving home from your first day at Volkswagen Group UK in a top-of-the-range product like our Volkswagen Golf (full, clean driving license required). You can also enjoy activities that reflect your interests, from new car launches in the UK and Europe to testing new models before they’re released, attending product events, to working with the community, there’s always something going on.

Want to find out more? You’ll need to be working towards at least a 2.1 degree (of any discipline). As well as your qualifications, we look for relevant work experience, ambition and a determination to succeed. You’ll also need to have the right to work in the UK. We treat our Graduates as colleagues. That means you’ll be one of the team, your ideas will be listened to and you’ll be able to influence key business decisions. Like some of our Graduates, you might even find yourself designing and launching initiatives to be used across the Group.

Who are we? One group. Five brands. Unlimited possibilities.
We’re driven by difference. With five globally recognised brands under one roof – Audi, SEAT, Volkswagen, ŠKODA and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles - each with its own history, designs and inventions – we’ve created some of the world’s most iconic vehicles, from luxury sports cars to family camper vans. Here, you’ll discover opportunities, explore ideas and tackle challenges that you won’t find anywhere else.

Where can you work? Our placements give you the chance to choose a real role that matches your specific interests and aspirations.
We have thirty-nine opportunities in six business areas: Marketing & Communications, HR, Finance, IT, Operations & Support and Business Performance Analytics

What will you be doing? What are you driven by? Whether it’s numbers or strategy, marketing or technology, our Undergraduate Placement will let you test your skills, work in real business roles on key projects, and turn your knowledge and passion into real-world, value-adding impact.
On our twelve-month placement, you’ll immerse yourself in one of our five very different brands and business functions, and develop specialist expertise in your chosen area. At the same time, you’ll do important work, put forward ideas, and collaborate with senior leaders and participate in high-profile projects.

What’s in it for you? As an undergraduate on one of our placements, you’ll receive a £17,500 salary, as well as a new car every four months (as long as you have a full, clean UK driving licence). You’ll receive 27 days’ holiday – plus bank holidays – a discretionary bonus, an award-winning pension scheme, flexible benefits allowance, employee well-being support, an on-site restaurant and shopping discounts. Upon completion, you’ll also have the opportunity to be considered for our Graduate Programme.

What do you need? Our placement is open to any student at a UK university who is eligible to work full-time in the UK for twelve months from June 2018. You should be on a sandwich degree or course which offers a one-year industrial placement. We have a duty of care to our people and wouldn't want you to spend a large amount of time commuting, so we require undergraduates to be based within a 20 mile radius of our Milton Keynes head office.
